We have a vegan menu for all three meals, including a vegetarian and vegan station for lunch and dinner. Signage indicates the ingredients. Both our vendor (Sodexo) and University Housing have teamed up to offer 'Meatless Mondays;' Sodexo gave away 30 meals to participants, who were treated to movies such as "Forks over Knives." We did a first-phase Real Food Challenge survey, which has informed student and campus groups.
None
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
We have eliminated trays to conserve energy, reduce our water consumption, limit the amount of chemicals draining into our water ways and reduce the amount of waste traveling to land-fills. We have posted signage to explain the savings to our environment.
Sodexo has adopted additional policies to support animal welfare: http://sodexousa.com/usen/media/press-releases/2015/animal_welfare_policy.aspx
